Monday thru Saturday 23rd • MAIN DOWNTOWN, BRTAR , TEXAS -Selling Merchandise For Individuals From All Over The Valley- By BILL HENRY Assistant Sports Editor A&M’s patched-up mile relay team ran an impressive 3:13.6 for a new meet record, but the patching up on the other parts of the team caused a frustrating second place finish in the ninth annual Arlington Relays Satur day. Billy Porter was the Aggies’ most prominent injured track- ster. Porter, who qualified for the 100-yard dash and the 220- yard dash, pulled up lame in the sprint relay, giving A&M its first loss in the event all sea son. It also put Porter out for the rest of the meet and most likely until the Texas Relays. Tennis win string broken by OU For Coaches Charley Thomas and Ted Nelson, it was a diffi cult afternoon. Gone from per forming because of injuries, be sides Porter, were Horace Grant in the 880-yard run and mile relay; Donny Rogers in the 100- yard dash, 220-yd dash and the sprint relay; Jim Haynie in the mile, Wayne Mills in the 440 and David Morris in the 440 in termediate hurdles. It was a great day for Coach Ralph Tate of Oklahoma State in winning his fourth consecutive Arlington Relays team trophy with 111 points compared to 64 for A&M. The Cowboys scored in every event with the excep tion of the pole vault, where A&M had a field day. Four of the five places were awarded to A&M. Harold Mc Mahan took top honors with a jump of 15-6, David Peterek took second, Billy Hoffman, third, and Robert Hoffman, fifth. That gave A&M 14 of a possible 16 points scored in the event. The high jump was also a big event for A&M in taking 1-2-3. Phil McGuire, first, Marvin Tay lor, second and Johnny Mayo, third. Only A&M jumpers clear ed 6-4 and formality forced a jump-off at 6-6 between the three. Doug Brodhead, freshman, from Lafayette, La., did another spectacular job by winning the 440-yard dash in a time of 48.4. Final tabulations show A&M with only four first place fin ishes compared to nine for Okla homa State. “We could have come closer to Oklahoma State if all our kids would have been well," Thomas said. “OSU does have a great team though." The Cowboy coach, Ralph Tate, felt the same way. “As a team we did a fine job,” he said. “We had a real out standing effort, considering the circumstances. It was our first outside meet of the year. We do not have a track to work on because we have a new one under construction. We desperately need conditioning.” In the half-mile event, Willie Blackmon, who led the entire way, found SMU’s Jimmy Whit ley racing stride for stride at the stretch. Whitley lunged at the tape to win with a 1:54.8 time; Blackmon finished second with a 1:54.9. John Holberstadt, South Afri can from Oklahoma State, broke two meet records during the Cowboys’ assault. He won the mile with a 4:12.8, heating the record set by Bruce Johnson c! Abilene Christian by two ani two-tenths seconds. In the th» mile, Holberstadt bested the rso ord set by Keeny Link, alsoi! ACC, by 10 seconds at 4:06. Jim Bolding, of OSU, won tot! the 120-yard high hurdles ani 440-yard intermediate hurdlea These were the only double via. ners of the meet. Marvin Mills ran his fastest time in taking second in Uk 220-yard dash with a 21,1. “Marvin ran real well,” Thom, as said. His legs looked like ttej felt good for the first time tlij season." This Saturday, A&M will com’ pete in the College Station Be- lays in what amounts to a quad rangular meet in the University division. Only Baylor, TCU auj Rice will go against the Aggies in Kyle Field. Oklahoma University broke A&M’s five match win streak in Norman Saturday by defeating the Aggies 6-4 in dual meet com petition. This was the second time this season the Sooners dropped A&M as they defeated the Ag gies, 4-3, in the first match of the Corpus Christi Invitational tournament March 3rd.

CLAY “I am a candidate for the College Station City Council, Place 6. I need your support.” Bruce Clay will represent ALL residents of College Station. Bruce Clay has been working vigorously for the students of Texas A&M University. He actively supported the initiation of the TAMU Student Support Program. He ini tiated the legislation that allowed the College Station City Council to become honorary sponsors of the Student Senate. He is cur rently Public Relations Chairman of the Stu dent Senate, a member of the Student Senate Executive Committee, a member of President Williams' Advisory Council and a member of the Alumni-Student Advisory Council. He wants to do more. “I have broad support from many community leaders. However, the students of Texas A&M University are the key to my success.” In the Special Election of December 1971, Bruce Clay successfully challenged the City Charter’s requirement that City Councilmen must be real property owners. The manner in which this was carried out earned Bruce the respect of many community leaders. Be cause of his actions ALL residents of College Station are eligible to serve in city public offices. Bruce Clay fights for what he be lieves. “College Station needs responsible and prog ressive leadership. I want to provide that leadership.” The city of College Station desperately needs improved parks. In order to achieve this we need to make park improvement and develop ment a separate item in the municipal budget. The present City Council has been toying with a new zoning ordinance for nearly 3 years. It is time for the ordinance to be finalized and brought out in the open for all to see. In the past, only certain groups have been represented on the City Council. “During last fall’s voter registration drive many students registered to vote in College Station. By voting for me, these people can say to the community of College Station it is time for a change. We want represen tation.” Your vote does make a difference. If you are registered in College Station, do not pass up this opportunity to register your vote for a change in College Station.
